The Story in Brief
Mumbai founder and CEO Ahana Gautam said she chose to build a business in India instead of taking a senior executive role in the United States. In an Independence Day message on X, she described dispatch delays, hiring mistakes and financial uncertainty, but said the difficult days were a choice she made by returning home. Gautam urged Indians abroad to consider building in India.
Separately, social media influencer Arpita Sahu said she left a stable corporate job after 4.5 years and an MBA. She said the decision brought relief and gave her permission to discover what she enjoys while creating content. Times Now News said it could not confirm the authenticity of her video.
The Indian Opinion
Social media often turns quitting into a neat story of courage, while treating a salary as a failure of imagination. Both accounts show personal choices, not a universal formula. Gautam acknowledges the operational strain of running a business, while Sahu has not claimed that her next step is settled. The useful test is whether either path produces sustainable income and work, not how warmly a post is received.
